Re: chain tension
on the chain nearest the ground, right in the middle of it between the 2 sprockets, you should be able to move it up and down about 1", that's good enough play.
to tighten or loosen you loosen the axle, and i'm not sure on those bikes but there are bolts that adjust how far out hte axle is, move those to move it in or out. make sure you match the markings on both sides of the axle on the swingarm so the wheel is straight.
